This study tests whether adding cognitive processing therapy (CPT) to standard relapse prevention (RP) helps people with both PTSD and alcohol use disorder more than RP alone. About 200 adults with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder and current PTSD will receive either CPT+R…

This study tests whether playing a virtual reality walking game at home can help reduce neuropathic pain in adults with chronic spinal cord injury. 250 participants with complete injuries will use a VR headset to see virtual legs walking from a first-person view. They will play t…

This study tests whether playing a virtual reality walking game at home can reduce neuropathic pain in adults with incomplete spinal cord injury. Participants will use a headset to see virtual legs and walk in a virtual world for about 30 minutes twice daily over 10 days. The goa…

This study tests a simple oral appliance worn at night to open the airway and improve sleep in pregnant women who snore. About 20 participants will use a home sleep test to measure sleep quality. The goal is to see if the device can reduce snoring and related pregnancy risks like…
